The Oklahoma City Thunder returned to the Paycom Center just last night after a long road trip. They took on the Sacramento Kings, defeating them 112-105 in the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. Now they host the San Antonio Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back.

The Thunder is right in the mix of the No. 1 seed race in the Western Conference, making this back-to-back that much more important. After this game, the Thunder has two more home contests before hosting a playoff series

For the Spurs, out of the playoff race, focusing on development is their priority. More important than seeding for the Thunder is getting back to their peak form ahead of meaningful basketball.
